Jersey Shore season 3 power rankings

This is it, the last of the "Jersey Shore" power rankings! Yes, our favorite guidos and guidettes had to leave the Shore house, but fear not, for "Jersey Shore" Season 4 will be here before long. Well, not here in New Jersey, but all the way over in Italy.

And now, the final power rankings of the season. I added up their power ranking positions throughout the season, and whoever had the lowest score won, like golf. Here are the "Jersey Shore" Season 3 power rankings:

1. DJ Pauly D39 points

Proof that slow and steady wins the race! Pauly reached #1 on the power rankings only once this entire season, but he never ranked lower than #5.

Why does Pauly deserve the top honors? Simple. Ask yourself when the last time Pauly caused major drama, and which of his housemates actually hate him? Go on, take a moment to think about it. Now think about the good times, like when Pauly pretended to be an answering machine on the duck phone. And, um...how about that time when he...

Here we have someone more interesting. She started off the season ranking fairly low because of her troubles with Tom, but quickly bounced back after the breakup. She ended the season on the highest note of all the cast members, elated over being in an official relationship with Roger.

3. Deena49 points

The rookie had some highs and lows, but eventually found her groove in the middle of the pack. From her wild opening where she "accidentally" bared all to the Situation to the most recent episode, where she protected the honor of Snooki and her friend Lisa from an increasingly moody and pissy Vinny, Deena made her mark among her housemates.

She’s certainly no Angelina, but "Jersey Shore" is better for having Deena in it.

4. Snooki53 points

Unquestionably the biggest star of the show, Snooki definitely had her share of ups and downs. She ranked in the top spot several times, but also landed at or near the bottom a couple of times, thanks to her arrest. "Free Snooki" has to be the best thing that came out of this season.

5. Vinny53 points

Technically tied with Snooki, Vinny gets placed lower due to his recent behavior. Early in the season, he tended to rank high for being a generally cool guy, but lately he's turned into a churlish jerk. Let's hope that by the time they head to Italy, Vinny regains some of those nice-guy tendencies that made him so well-liked in the first place.

6. The Situation54 points

One point behind Snooki and Vinny, the Situation comes in at #6. The Situation did not get ranked at the top spot once this season. It didn't seem like he was trying very hard this season, maybe because mind was elsewhere (indeed, the Situation is making an attempt to be taken seriously outside of "Jersey Shore" parameters...so far, unsuccessfully).

7. Sammi68 points

Rough season for Sammi (and the viewers). On the one hand, I sympathize with her. She didn't exactly have Romeo for a boyfriend. Look, when a guy acts like he did you a favor by apologizing for having a threesome with grenades and then crawling in bed with you after, you might want to ask yourself if he's relationship material.

That Ronnie compared her texting a very, very old flame to what went down in Miami is bad enough, but Sammi actually accepted that as an equal relationship transgression! Sigh.

8. Ronnie79 points

Between sobbing like a little girl and the rectal bleeding, I have no idea how Ronnie is going to face his friends after this season. His manhood has been completely shattered and he's going to have to undertake a long, arduous journey to regain that sense of self.

Also, I hope he isn't reading these power rankings because he'd probably flip out in a fit of rage and beat the crap out of me.

That's it, ladies and gents! Hope you enjoyed the power rankings. Who do you think should have been #1 or #8? Sound off, below.
